A busy week! Well, but here is an update!

We are getting closer and closer to some real action ;)

"Kate, I need your help," Ana said as Kate answered her call. With her free hand, Ana was pouring herself water since she had a hangover.

It was only the second time in her life she had such a bad hangover. The first time had been her graduation party, but back then she didn't care with whom she had made out that night or what she had done.

But last night…

Why did she have to remember everything?

Why did she have to drink that wine at all? Initially she had wanted to forget that Christian had been out with someone else, then she had thought she would spend the evening alone.

That was one bottle.

And then she had ordered another, and Christian had come with one more…combined with the fact that she usually didn't drink more than two glasses explained why she was feeling so horrible right now.

She wished she had passed out since she would have never tried to seduce Christian Grey when she was sober.

Of course, she could no longer deny he was actually attractive, funny and smart.

But he was not for her. He was her enemy, and he was her colleague.

And she had tried to...oh God, she wanted to throw up as her memory flashed to how she jumped on him nearly naked.

Gross, she hated to remember all that happened previous night. How will she ever be able to look him in the eye again?

"Ana, what's wrong?" Kate asked and Ana tried to think of how to tell her friend this entire story.

"How to explain this...I got drunk." Ana giggled, trying to hide her nervousness. "And well I was with a guy with whom I had gone out and told him we would not have anything more than this, but then I somehow..."

"Ana, who is the guy?" Kate asked, now with a more serious tone to her voice.

"Well, you don't know him..." She tried to lie, not wanting to confess she actually had something with Christian.

"Holy crap, Ana! It is totally someone I know and since you are in Rome and I don't know anyone in Rome besides..." There was a few seconds silence.

"YOU HAD SEX WITH CHRISTIAN?"

"Well, not exactly..."

"Oh God, Ana, you are messing this up. And what do you mean 'not exactly'?"

"Okay, I will tell you the story very quickly. The thing is...I was out with a guy from work, and Christian was there, too, with a girl from the office. They sat with us, but then he started telling my date about me before I got this...new Ana, and it was too much for me so I went back to the hotel. And then he came to my room and apologized and I was angry... and well he had ruined my date and I had wanted to feel special and desired and…well, I had drank too much wine then, too. And then he said he had been jealous and asked me to go out with him the next day. I agreed because I thought it would make him want me and then I would not let him have me." Ana paused after her speech, but then continued. Better to tell this fast and without any chance for comments. "We went out and it was...we were like strangers, on a first date. On our way back to the hotel we...kissed. But I said that I would not sleep with him."

"Perfect, Ana, so what happened yesterday?"

"I was exploring the city and when I was having dinner, I saw Christian with a woman. She was so beautiful – blonde, tan, she was wearing only the most expensive designer clothes, and she looked about his age. I kinda got a bit jealous." Ana confessed taking a few sips of the water. "I went to my hotel room and drank a bottle of wine in half an hour. Then I ordered another, but as I went to open the door guess who was there with a pizza and a bottle of wine..."

"Oh, Ana, Ana. Tell me you told him to leave and went to bed early."

"Well, not exactly," Ana said. "I acted as if I was in the mood for pizza and wine and let him in. Then he said he had been out with an old friend who was engaged, and with that something changed in me and I was no longer angry with him. We drank the wine and talked... and drank more wine... and then somehow I was kissing him and wearing only underwear."

"Ana!" Kate sighed. "I hope you at least used protection."

"Oh God, that's the worst part!"

"Wait, what? Ana, you could be pregn-"

"No, no, Kate. We didn't get that far."

"I thought he wanted to have sex with you more than anything?"

Would he ever want to see her again? Ana thought. "Yes, kinda..."

"So you rejected him?"

"No," Ana paused. "I was drunk and he told me that we wouldn't have sex tonight because of it."

"Wow... I didn't know he was nice and was capable of being this... gentlemanly."

"Gentlemanly and nice? It would have been better had he stayed so we both could regret it now." Ana said angrily. At least then they both would feel awkward now.

"Ana, maybe he is not as bad as we have always thought. I thought he would take advantage of any girl. But t seems he might not be that bad..."

"Well, for someone looking for a relationship it might be a plus, but for me..."

"Oh Ana, I really don't know what you should do. Just talk to him and say that you weren't yourself..."

"I hope he believes that and I also hope that now he has no interest in me at all." Ana said. Or she lied. Because now that she thought about it, maybe the new Ana would have let herself have a little fling with him.

"Okay Ana, I need to go to my parent's home; I'll talk to you later."

"Okay, say hi to them from me." As Ana hung up the phone she fell on the bed, remembering how she had been there yesterday and with whom.

Oh, she couldn't let herself think about it.

She would take a nap for a few hours. And then she would go do something for herself, maybe go to gym or something... She needed to be refreshed and ready for work.
